Despite a proliferation of contrast controls, for deep-sky images (nebulas and galaxies) I was still not able to achieve the quality of images I’ve been used to with Photoshop.

Filters, though abundant for artistic special effect “looks,” are limited in basic but essential functions.

For example, there is no stacking and averaging for noise smoothing.

Functions in Layers are still limited.

ON1 2019 is Better, But for Astrophotography … NOTE: All images can be downloaded as high-res versions for closer inspection.

While ON1 Photo RAW 2019 is much better, I concluded it still isn’t a full replacement of Adobe’s Creative Cloud suite, as least not for astrophotography. The question I had was: Are they enough for high-quality astrophotos in a non-destructive workflow, Adobe Photoshop’s forté. I won’t detail all the changes to ON1 2019 but they are significant and welcome. When working with Layers you are no longer locked out of key functions such as cropping. You no longer have to flatten and commit to image settings to layer them for composites. I’m glad to see many of the shortfalls have been addressed, with the 2019 edition offering a much better workflow allowing layering of raw images while maintaining access to all the original raw settings and adjustments. I was critical of many aspects of the old version, primarily of its destructive workflow when going from its Develop and Effects modules to the limited Layers module of the 2018 edition.

In my eBook “ How to Photograph and Process Nightscapes and Time-Lapses” (linked to at right) I present dozens of processing tutorials, including several on how to use ON1 Photo RAW, but the 2018 edition. Many reviewers love the new ON1 – for “normal” photography.īut can it replace Adobe for night sky photos? I put ON1 Photo RAW 2019 through its paces for the demanding tasks of processing nightscapes, time-lapses, and deep-sky astrophotos.

Combining Browsing, Cataloging, Raw Developing, with newly improved Layers capabilities, ON1 is out to compete with Adobe’s Creative Cloud photo suite – Lightroom, Camera Raw, Bridge, and Photoshop – for those looking for a non-subscription alternative. Released in mid-November 2018, the latest version of ON1 Photo RAW greatly improves a non-destructive workflow.

Can the new version of ON1 Photo RAW match Photoshop for astrophotography?īut … as always, it depends.
